| 1941 | Landa's Relación de las cosas de Yucatan. (A. M. Tozzer, ed.) Papers Peabody Mus. Archaeol. Ethnol. 18: xiii + 394. –De Landa's MS., dating from 1566, was first publ. in 1864; this is ed. 8. Durand (1983: 66-67) reprints the manatee material from the ed. of Héctor Pérez Martínez, México, 1938. The 1941 ed. includes a brief gen. acc. of "sea-cows" (misidentified by the editor as T. m. latirostris) being used for meat and fat in Yucatan (190-191). It also gives an interesting description of harpooning of manatees, and claims (implausibly) that "bats are accustomed to prick them" in the snout, causing death from loss of blood! | ||
